Starting To Think About It

Parker "Watermelon Silk Drape Front Dress" - Buy it HERE

Valentine's Day is in just three short weeks.  It is a perfect day to excuse eating lots of sweets, raining affection on others (though you shouldn't really need an excuse for this one!), getting pampered and going out for a fabulous dinner.  And it may just be that you already have in mind the perfect outfit to drive him wild.  But if not, consider this Parker dress as Option #1.  With an overall shape and style that flatters a lot of different figures, it also has the added bonus of allowing to really enjoy that nice dinner, as it is not skin-tight.  It also shows just the right amount of leg to be quite flirty without being downright dirty.  A nice plunge to the neckline raises the heat level a little bit more.  Plus, the dress comes in a shade synonymous with love.

Comfy And Cozy Are We

Qi Cashmere "Granite Turtleneck Sweater" - Buy it HERE

If there is one thing that can help keep us as warm as we can be under all our layers of jackets and scarves and hats, it's cashmere.  Synonymous with comfort and luxury, cashmere is the ultimate in what we desire for the long months of winter.  Soft as down and lighter than wool, it's no wonder it is such a delight to wear. 

Stock up now.  There are still months of cold to come.  Shop Casmere HERE.

Form AND Function

It doesn't always have to be a choice, picking between what looks great and what performs the best.  There are many times when both can exist in one perfect package.  Such examples include: the iPhone, a high performance sports car, and a good Italian beef.  All are visually appealing while still getting the job done in the best of ways.  Though, sadly, there are times when one must unavoidably pick between the two duties.  Such items include: Clogs (comfy? yes; pretty? no) and cough syrup (tasty? no; powerful? yes).

Thankfully, The Denim Lounge has stocked some of the first kind: good looking and hard working.  Get yourself a hat that takes care of you and your head all winter long while showing off just who it is you root for most.  Could something better possibly exist?

It Get's Better And Better

You can't walk into a single store right now without seeing the word "SALE" in big letters all over the place.   And that's not necessarily a bad thing.  In fact, some people wait months, if not all year for these huge discounts.  End of the year bonuses sometimes don't make it past the actual end of the year. 
In the spirit of the sale season, Madison & Friends and The Denim Lounge are also playing part:
The first sale item = 30% off
Two - three sale items = 60% off
Four or more sale items = 70%
It doesn't get much more jolly than that. 

Head over to Madison & Friends and The Denim Lounge now for a perfect ending to 2011.  And Happy New Year!!!

Last Chance!!

Whether it is because you have been obsessing over the perfect gift to give for the last two months or because you tend to procrastinate or because you just haven't had the time, it doesn't matter.  Because there is still time left!! Tomorrow is the first night of Hanukkah and less than one week from today is Christmas.  So there is hope yet!  Maybe a cool sweater?  Or jeans that will look better on them than any other pair they might own?  Or even a gift card to let them be the ones to have all the fun?  Options abound and they will love you the more for giving them something truly good looking rather than another tie or bathrobe. 

Gift the best gift this season.  HERE.

Happy Holidays!!!

Gifted

The best gifts are the ones that surprise and delight.  They are the things that we really want but maybe wouldn't ever go out and buy for ourselves.  They are the things that we cherish for much longer than any one holiday season.  They are treasures.
What the best gifts aren't are mismatches, in which the gift doesn't at all fit the recipient.  And the best gifts aren't generic either -  they don't come from a bin of one million, in which every has the same (unless maybe it is an iPhone) - rather, they have the feeling of some kind of uniqueness, in which thought is involved.  The best gifts are special.

And so get them something they will really love - current denim obsessions or the freshest tops and accessories out there.  If you really can't decide, get them a Denim Lounge gift card.  That is something not even Scrooge can deny.

The Big Cover-Up

Graham & Spencer "Multi-Print Blouse" - Buy it Here

Free People "Romantics" Tunic - Buy it Here

This time of year, while generally so festive and full of great cheer, has one tiny little drawback: we kind of end up gorging for about six weeks straight.  Starting with Thanksgiving and heading all the way through New Year's, we have family gatherings, office parties, holiday parties, kids parties, and lots of leftovers all in between, which means come January 2nd we might not exactly be in our highest forms.  But that is then and this is now.  And rather than already worrying about that guilt, embrace it for now.  It is the moment and it is the season and it only happens once a year.  Stock up on loose blouses that reveal no holiday food bump whatsoever.
